My driver seat is stuck and it won't move forward or backward.
I tried removing metal housing of the motor and move/rotate the motor with hand, I felt lot of resistance and seat won't move.
I am suspecting there is something preventing seat form moving, may be a dropped pen or toy or something.
I need to remove the seat form the car to see if there is something there. Since it won't move, I can't access 2 rear bolts which secret the seat to floor of the car.
Is there any trick to remove these bolts, is there anyway to remove nut on the opposite side may be from under the car?
yes i tried calibrating and i went to dealer too he said need new seat control module but when i rotated motor with hand and seat still does not move that makes me thing there is obstruction somewhere. unfortunately its too tight and dark under the seat, can't see anything
You could try to remove the subframe from the seat. That would give you better acess to find the obstacle.
Subframe is bolted with 4 bolts upwards into the seat.
If your lucky you can acess them with the seat moved to maximum height front & rear.
you can see one of the bolts in the pic (right hand side, the one with the green marking):
When I remember correctly it was a allen key.
Probably you can shorten a existing tool for easier acess.
It was the control module
I purchased it , had to replace both side driver and passenger and then have car to dealer to program it.
Then seat started moving but I was still curious so I removed the seat to inspect and there was a bolt with built in washer in the track which was partially chewed up so it must have caused the module to fail and that’s why I was feeling more resistance
